As the girls made their way towards the entrance Tom looked down at Mika. "You know in all the excitement this week Mika we never had a chance to have the talk."
Mika went a little pale as she looked up at Tom. "The talk," she stammered.
Claudia groaned as Tom contonued to look Mika over. "Yes the talk," he stated, runnimg a hand through his grey hair. "If your going to be dating my daughter then I have some expectations."
"Ugh shoot me," Claudia mumbled.
Mika felt quesy as she gulped. "Um...okay sir," she said quietly.
"As you know Claudia is my youngest," he said. "She means the world to me and I will not have you hurting her during the course of this relationship."
Mika nodded as Claudia continued to groan in embarassment. "Daddy seriously," she mumbled.
Tom ignored his daughter as he continued to stare down at Mika. "You will not hit her," he said. "You will not cheat on her, you will treat her as I treat her, like she is the most precious thing on Earth. Failure to do so and you and I will have BIG problems."
Mika smiled in spite of herself. She appreciated the fact the Claudia's dad was so protective of her. "I promise sir I'll take good care of her."
Tom smiled as he looked at his daughter and hwr girlfriend. "Very good," he said. "I like you Mika you seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. Oh and by the way you've been a joy to have in the house."
Mika smiled broadly as she took Claudia's hand and held it tight. Despite the fact her girlfriend was red with embarassment she loved that hwr family was so accepting of her.
"Daddy can we please change the subject," Claudia whined.
"Claudia dear," he said. "You know very well I say this to anyone that dates my children. Besides I think I went easy on her. Julia's first boyfriend fainted on us. Needless to say their wasn't a second date."
Mika now burst into laughter as Claudia buried her face in her hands. Embarassed but thankful her dad had her best interest at heart.
As the girls now entered the convention Tom spotted a bench to sit on. He now sat down and took a book out of his back pocket.
"Okay everyone we meet back here at 1600."
"Daddy!"
"Sorry 4 p.m."
The girls now spread out through the convention center checking out the various booths and sneak previews of upcoming movies. As the group entered one of the main halls Samantha began to yell excitedly. "Look they have a costume contest," she exclaimed. "The winner gets $1500 prize."
"Mary you should so enter," Claudia said. Mary Elise blushed as looking down at the floor. "I don't know," she said. "Some of the other costumesare better than mine."
"Aw crud," Mika said. "It says you have to be 18or older to enter." The group let out a sad sigh before Mika began to smile. "Hey girls quick meeting."
The girls moved away from Mike and Sebastian to talk quietly. Out of hearing distance Mika glanced around before looking at Mary.
"Mary you can enter and win this thing and I can help." Mika said as she held up the ring. The groups jaws collectively dropped as they gaped at Mika. "Are you nuts ," Samantha exclaimed. "What about the rules?"
"The rules say we can change eachother if we all agree," Mika said. "I don't know about you guys but I think a 20 year old Mary can win this hands down."
The others began to rub the back of the necks before sighing. "She's right," Claudia said. Mary gaped at her best friend. "Claud you can't be serious."
"I am Mary," she said. "Look I know you don't think it but your hot. And right now you look super hot. Believe me I wouldnt say it if it weren't true."
"She's right Mary," Samantha said. "Look the rules say you go up their, have your picture taken and they'll announce the winner at 1 p.m. It would only be for a few minutes then you can chamge back"
Mary Elise looked concerned as she anxiously gazed at her friends. Their confidence, though, was making her believe in herself. Sighing the girl looked at her friends. "Fine I'll do it," she said. "Just be quick okay i dont want to miss out on time with Sebastian."
The girls squealed with delight as Mika made the wish. Mary Elise shivered as the changes began to take affect. The girls lopked on as Mary Elise ages out of high school and became a college student.
Mary Elise's curves increased along with her bust as the girl approached 20. The girls watched as Mary Elise's childish features matured giving her a mature and beautiful face. The young auburn haired teen was now a beauty of a college red head with fjll curves, perky breats and a gorgeous face. "Is it over," she asked in a more mature voice.
The girls stared in awe of the mature college girl in front of them. "Whoa," they collectively gasped as they handed Mary a mirror. Mary loojed at her appearance and gasped. She was a knockout.
"Well hurry up and go get your picture taken," Claudia stated. "You are soooo gonna win this."
Mary Elise smiled as she approached the photographer. Confident in her appearance and thankful for her friends Mary smiled broadly and began to pose for the pictures. "I am gonna win this," she thought.
The pictures completed and further complimented on her appearance Mary Elise returned to her young friends brimming with confidence. "Can't wait to be this age for real," she exclaimed. "But for now can i go back to 16. I kinda want to see my boyfriend." Mika smiled as she wished Mary back to 16, happy that Katie and Kellie had given thwm thw ring for the day.
